The Meatball Lounge presents WWE RAW 7/8/2013 - Bryan's Beard, Sheep Masks, and Heyman's Guys

[Cool King]

I see Alicia Fox is working Heel this week.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ryback has turned into Lord Varys.

[Innovator]

Stupid fans trying to shit on a great thing.

[ClockShot]

No contest, I guess.

[Cool King]

I'm surprised AJ still has her ribs after that Spear.

[Hanso Amore]

Big E out to get his rape on

[Innovator]

What did the Bellas do to get anything over?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One is fucking Cena the other is fucking Daniel Bryan. Nothing.

[Hanso Amore]

I love that the shield is not even on ppv anymore. So much for the, changing the wwe.

[Frank Drebin]

Really?

I find anything better than "Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money Money...."

Same thing they used for MITB 2011. Brings back memories.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I love that the shield is not even on ppv anymore. So much for the, changing the wwe.

Did you forget Dean Ambrose is in the World Title MITB Match?

[Emperor Smeat]

What did the Bellas do to get anything over?

Being on the upcoming E! Divas show and one of them dating Cena.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They've never gotten anything over. Even themselves.

[Hanso Amore]

Did you forget Dean Ambrose is in the World Title MITB Match?

Hes a toss in.

They debuted and people expected them to change the game. Now they are back to middling and the Wyatt's are the new hotness.

Wwe pushed them at the top for 8 months and now they are facing the usos.

Tag titles are a kiss of death. I predict they fade back to the middling mid card. Definitely lost steam.

[slik]

Yes!

[Corndad]

Get 'em Daniel!

[GD]

Glad to see Punk pick up a clean victory over Orton.

[Hanso Amore]

Heel turn?

[Frank Drebin]

CANCEL THE PPV, BRYAN GOT THE BRIEFCASE ALREADY!!

[Corndad]

Damn I hope that doesn't mean he won't win on Sunday.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Heel turn?

I don't think so. Just a Money in the Bank set up thing. Just like when everybody comes down to brawl during the Royal Rumble hype.

[Hanso Amore]

I don't think so. Just a Money in the Bank set up thing. Just like when everybody comes down to brawl during the Royal Rumble hype.

Thats what I expected but no one else showed up.

Weird. Face attacks two faces and gets cheered. Just wasnt expecting that.

[Savio]

What did the Bellas do to get anything over?
Nothing, they are terrible on commentary too.

[dronepool]

RAW was okay..and next weeks RAW is 3 miles from me. But eh, decent seats cost too much.

[Heisenberg]

I can honestly admit I sat through the whole 3 hours and moderately enjoyed tonight's programming.

I had to use a mental shield to block the crowd out when The Wyatt Family debuted, and was satisfied with the scene

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sat through most of it but I was a little bit late playing Walking Dead and watching Escape from LA on Netflix.

Pretty good show.

[GD]

RAW has been consistently entertaining for the last 3 weeks (minus the crowd for the first 2 weeks and the McMahon shenanigans).

[Theo Dious]

Jesus Christ. The Shield aren't the focus of the show and people start wetting their pants. Maybe, just MAYBE, after a strong debut and 6 month hard-pushed run, they're easing off of them a bit to make sure they can keep rolling without a monster push behind them?

Oh I forgot... anyone who cools off at all after a huge push is being totally buried and are probably in the doghouse. Remember how they totally killed of CM Punk who was never heard from again.

How dare you think logically here!!! And I rememer this C M Punk guy, didn't he tap to Hornswaggle last week to open Main Event?

Perhaps....maybe.....the Shield aren't that good?


Unless, you think they are, in that case I do too.

[#1-norm-fan]

Just now watching...


WYATT FAMILY!!!!!!!!!! 3WQJDNI3WOU4FYDU3FBYUQBY3U4DBCEYHXUBYAERSD!!!!!!!!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

Perfect debut.

Fuck that crowd though.

[Poit]

I've never been able to get the WWE app to load anything during Raw.

I think I've just figured this out. The app is somehow detecting that I live in California and assuming that I will be watching the west coast broadcast, even though I watch the east coast broadcast.

[James Steele]

I don't get why they decided to shit on Bray Wyatt. Hopefully it doesn't continue because that may hurt him going forward if it bothers Vince.

[James Steele]

Fuck that crowd for getting #1-wwf-fan and me to agree on something.

[#1-norm-fan]

Agreed

[James Steele]

Double fuck this crowd.

[KyleEmmott]

Tonight's crowd really pissed me off, that shit will have the people in the back doubting the gimmick.

[James Steele]

This is why WWE should have never put over the post-WrestleMania crowd. Let them have their jollies, but don't reward bad behavior and encourage every smartass wrestling fan to go out of their way to shit on the product. I understand shitting on Sheamus/Orton or a Ryback vs 3 Jobbers squash match, but I have no clue why you shit on that Bray Wyatt segment.

[Bad News Gertner]

Probably my fav debut next to Brock Lesnar's. Lesnar's ws the fucking shits!

[Innovator]

That crowd deserves to live in Baltimore.

[Innovator]

I get shitting on a character like Tensai, over the top goofy stereotypes. Don't shit on a guy who completely reinvented himself into one of the best talkers in the company.

[KyleEmmott]

Think about this, you're Husky Harris/Bray Wyatt whatever you want to call him. You spends years (I think it's been a couple years) reinventing yourself into a new character and you nail it, I mean in my eyes its the best character I've seen in awhile. You put all your hardwork and effort into it. You're finally making your television debut and when you do it's a great debut BUT the crowd continues to chant your persona from years back. TALKING ABOUT BEING PISSED OFF AT THE CROWD, I ALMOST FEEL BAD FOR THE GUY.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the show.

Fantastic Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match to open the show. Those two seem to have great chemistry when given more than 18 seconds to show it.

The Wyatt Family debut was pretty rad.... I wasn't so much bothered by the chants.... BUT BY THE LANTERN. He lit the lantern in the video package... and then blew it out.... and then came out with the lantern being lit! He shouldn't have blown it out in the vid package, would have been an "OH SH*T" moment. Like "OH SH*T HE JUST LIT THAT LANTERN IN THAT VIDEO AND NOW HERE HE IS AND THE LANTERN IS STILL LIT!" :shifty:

[Vastardikai]

I'm waiting for the nerd who photoshops Bray Wyatt's head onto a Tonberry.

[Lock Jaw]

I dunno, but google searching "Bray Wyatt tonberry" right now brings up this image:

TPWW's #1 Michael McGilliChristian Peep

[MIZantine Empire]

As bad as that crowd shit on Wyatt, remember they also popped/gave quite the reaction when he/they walked out with the lantern. So he seemed quite over already.. Just my opinion

[Cool King]

I see no problem with this.

TPWW's #1 Michael McGilliChristian Peep

What I want to know is, how can someone mistakenly select McGillicutty over Christian?

It would be understandable if it was Chris Jericho or Brodus Clay's name that appeared as they are "B" & "C" which would most likely be near to Christian's name on the list.

But selecting an "M" name is a bit weird, unless it's been renamed to something like "Curtis Axel (Old)" or whatever.

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably is based on some sort of numbering or non-name based code system. It just so happens the small mistake of a number or a letter ended up corresponding to McGillicutty's video.

[Lock Jaw]

It could have been on a "MitB" background, and "Michael" starts with "Mi" as well.

[Lock Jaw]

Still a big operator error, though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's not like it ruined the show or anything.

[Lock Jaw]

It did, because it ruined Christian's entrance, which is always a huge markout moment, as well as the highlight of any show.

[Cool King]

It's not like it ruined the show or anything.

Nah, it didn't.

Those Husky Harris chants did though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It did, because it ruined Christian's entrance, which is always a huge markout moment, as well as the highlight of any show.

In today's landscape, he was lucky to get an entrance outside of the WWE App.

[Skippord]

it is weird that they would switch Christian with Michael McGuillicutty

they aren't even close, getting Christian and Chris Masters confused would've made sense I guess
